The Artist’s Journey: 100 Paintings In Your Portfolio

100 Paintings In Your Portfolio: What Will You Create?

How to fuel your creative fire and commit to your studio practice like a pro

Are you painting with aliveness and wonder? Do you yearn to paint consistently but find yourself struggling with self doubt?

I invite you to join me in The Artist’s Journey: 100 Paintings In Your Portfolio: weekly inspiration delivered directly to your inbox so you can create paintings that are confident, personal, and expressively alive.

Like many abstract painters, I started with representational art and eventually made my way to increasingly abstract, non-objective painting. The struggles that kept coming up for me were: getting stuck, over thinking, overworking, doubting myself, second guessing the painting, not keeping it fresh and alive, and the inner critic. Sound familiar?

When I realized I could stop struggling by making a simple change I’m about to share with you, everything shifted. This one inner shift transformed my work.

Almost overnight, I went from wrestling with my art and myself to confidently and consistently creating paintings that I loved.

I was on fire with creativity and inspiration for painting and I realized that I wanted to share my newfound realization in order to help other artists transform their painting experience as well.

I’m excited to invite you to The Artist’s Journey: 100 Paintings In Your Portfolio.

In my course, I’ll share with you what I call the ‘holy grail’, the inner transformation that changed everything for me. I’ll also teach you 3 game changing concepts that create 90% of the solutions in painting.

This is what you’ll receive:

a weekly email to guide and encourage you to get into your studio and PAINT!

private Facebook group to share your work and give and receive encouragement

The Artist’s Journey workbook: inner landscape exploration

and much, much more!

Praise for Nancy’s work guiding artist’s on their Artist’s Journey:

Nancy’s workshop was phenomenal! I have always had a hard time getting started with a painting project as I would stare at a blank canvas. What will I paint? Will it look like what it should look like? These insecurities often led to passing up on the opportunity to paint for another day. What I’ve learned from Nancy’s workshop is that I don’t need to necessarily know what I want to paint. Simply activating the canvas makes starting much less intimidating. The abstract pieces I created in the workshop will serve as a reminder and inspiration to me that I can paint with confidence. Julie Huang, Palo Alto, California

Praise for Nancy’s work:
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the experimental painting workshop, but I really enjoyed it. I have very little experience painting, but Nancy made it easy to get started. I learned how to separate the action of painting from its evaluation, and after a short time I felt much more confident about diving in and ‘making my mark’. Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply want to explore abstract art from a personal perspective, I would definitely recommend working with Nancy! Daniel Sprockett, Palo Alto, California

There are many good painting courses available today. You can attend workshops, watch youtube videos, take classes, and read books to learn new techniques. But there is a serious limitation to these: what happens when you are back in your studio facing the blank canvas? How do you maintain the momentum you experienced in the workshop? What is the secret to powerful, alive paintings that experienced professional artists know but that eludes you?

Most workshops and classes don’t adequately address your mindset. There’s no ongoing support and encouragement to work through your inner doubts, fears, and frustrations.

Who Am I and Why Am I Offering This Course?

I’m Nancy Hillis, MD. I’m on a mission to guide artists to trust themselves so they can paint with expressive aliveness, confidence, meaning, and wonder.

I believe the canvas is waiting for you to bring it alive with your signature, your energy, your voice.

What if on your artist’s journey you found the “Holy Grail” of painting? What if you knew the secret of successful professional painters? What if you learned three conceptsthat will transform your work? What would you create if you received painting challenges every week to fuel your creative fire?

It gets even better.

Not only will you get guidance on potent and transformative inner work and committed studio practice, you’ll also learn and implement 3 concepts that make the difference in satisfying versus unsatisfying work.

Painting is complex. There are so many variables, so much problem solving and decision making.

Because of this complexity, I asked myself: what are the few things that make 90% of the difference? I found 3 concepts that will transform your paintings and I’ll teach you these.

And even better yet…..

You can post your works in progress and discuss your experiences in our private Facebook group where you will receive feedback and encouragement from me and the artists in our group.

Magical, unexpected discoveries emerge from exploring and playing in your studio. You’re here. You’ve answered the call. Your paintings want to be born.

Join me in this charter membership. You will be a co-creator by giving me feedback of your experience. Like painting and life, this is an ever evolving work in progress.

As a founding member, you’ll pay only $29/month. The price will never go up if you continue your membership uninterrupted. The price will never be this low again.

I’ll teach you to trust yourself so that you can experiment freely, find your way as you create, and show us what you love.

Praise for Nancy’s work:

Dr. Nancy Hillis combines a deep professional experience in psychiatry with an intuitive, creative, childlike approach to painting. Magical insights come out of this wonderful mix. Through her own personal art journey, she has thought an lived deeply the process of moving beyond fear. She teaches with such heart and enthusiasm that even people who think they can’t paint begin to remember that they can! Tammy Pittenger, founder of Lighted Life coaching, Santa Cruz, California

If you’ve yearned to say yes to your own personal creative journey and to paint with freedom, playfulness, boldness, and risk-taking then I invite you to answer the call of The Artist’s Journey workshop.

Become part of a group of painters who revel in the actual process of creating, knowing that the deepest meaning is in the experiencing of creation.

Come full circle back to what you never lost: your innate creativity. You have everything you need right now to explore, experiment, play, paint, and feel alive.

What Outcomes will you have if you take this course?

You will paint with expressive wonder, aliveness, and confidence by learning to trust yourself. You will free up and awaken your playfulness, experimentation, and risk taking in your work.

I’ve had the privilege to work with Nancy Hillis as an artist. She paints with great passion, boldness, and spontaneity. Her enthusiasm and childlike playful freedom in the painting process is infectious. This is one infection I’d like to catch! Annette Norris Crosby, abstract painter, Valdosta, Georgia

If you’re thinking…..this is a lot of money for me to invest in my art.

I know. I’ve been there. Some of the best decisions I’ve made were investing in courses that accelerated my painting skills an moved me further along my painting journey. There’s no way I’d be where I am today if I hadn’t. When I invested in my art, it increased my motivation to work hard and succeed.

In this course, I have identified 3 crucial concepts that will transform your work. Threaded throughout the course, you’ll learn about and implement these. This will save you thousands of hours, if not years, of trial and error!

This is an inexpensive way to work with me. Two individual consultation sessions costs $500 and we’d never be able to cover all the topics in this course. You’d have to spend at least $2500 if we were working one-on-one.

Or maybe you’re worried about the time commitment.

I’m covering a lot of ground in this course and if you’re working full time or have children at home this might be a big concern for you. The good news is that your can do this at your own pace. The material is delivered to you every week and you can always go back and catch up.

The Artist’s Journey is for you if you yearn to

paint with confidence

unleash your creativity

doubt yourself

think you don’t know how to paint

feel like you’re in a rut with your art

Who’s this course WRONG for?

It’s wrong for you if you:

don’t value intuition and playfulness

would rather go it alone

won’t make the time to paint

are not committed to challenging yourself in your artistic development

Praise for Nancy’s work:

Nancy Leigh Hillis has empathy for human suffering, and the forces which hold us back from our creative expression. She teaches her painting workshop with a sincere, calming, generous, and warm spirit. I found that learning her process of intuitive painting can heal, by bringing one into the present. Taking her workshop was a joyous adventure. Ira Batra Garde, author and poet, Orinda, California
